ABOUT THE EXAM:

This INTENSIVE 2-day LIVE, INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE TRAINING prepares you for the official CISM® Exam by specifically focusing on developing the critical examination skills required for your success on the exam.

You’ll learn how to avoid the mistakes so many make that often result in failure.

You’ll be provided with a set of invaluable tools and approaches that maximize your chance of mastering this very difficult exam.

This 2-day course focuses on the final preparation for the CISM exam, including: review of concepts, definitions, and exam question analysis. It provides an intense, boot camp learning environment where attendees are immersed in exam prep. Actual testing is conducted during the class and approx. 200 questions (and answers) are reviewed. Attendees receive a set of invaluable tools and approaches that help you in mastering this very difficult exam.

OBJECTIVES:

This intensive two-day accelerated training covers the three essentials necessary for your success on the CISM® Exam:

1) A thorough understanding of the exam itself.

It must be understood that there are no fact questions and very little that can be productively committed to memory other than terms and concepts. Understanding the fundamental concepts, and how to arrive at the best answer is the key to successfully negotiating what is universally regarded as a very difficult examination.

2) A clear understanding of the core concepts that are the basis for the CISM program.

Exam questions explore the depth of understanding of these concepts and the ability to apply them in a variety of scenarios. Exam questions are based on the 97 Task and Knowledge Statements which are a reflection of the core concepts. Each is examined to ensure you gain a clear understanding consistent with the exam.

3) And, an understanding of the numerous terms, being able to clearly define them, as well as having clarity on the underlying concepts.

Without knowing the definition of terms consistent with their usage in the exam, it will be difficult to analyze the questions correctly and determine the best answer.
